A modulated headlight is a better alternative. If the problem was the minivan did not see the driver, the modulated headlight would have helped. | modulated you mean daytime running lights version for bikes?
if so, then yes i concur DRL's can/could save lives..
and, wow those pictures give me the chills.....
further reinforces why my mom wouldn't let me get my motorcycle license before..
